UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

FREDERIC KETTLER, OF MILVAUKEE, WISCONSIN.

FORCE-PUMP.

Specification of Letters Patent N o. 24,876, dated July 26, 1859.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERIC KETTLER, of the city and county of Milwaukee and State of Wisconsin, have invented a new and original Machinery of a Force-Pump to Supply an Engine with lVater; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description of the same.

This engine has one horizontal pump which will throw out every minute seven hundred gallons of water, when the engine is of common size. Through the operation and construction of the machinery the water will be forced more regular and in a greater quantity through the discharge pipes of the engine.

Similar letters refer to like parts.

Figure l represents a side elevation of the engine and Fig. 2 a plan. Figs. 3, 4 and 5 represent different views of the cylinders A and B.

The cylinder A is fastened with screws to the frame U of the engine and has two covers H on its sides which are fastened airtight, when the machinery is working.

X are the journals of an aXis J which,

passes airtight through those covers H.

B is a solid rotary cylinder which is in tended to work as piston in the cylinder or pump A.

Z are the grooves which are cut in the surface of the cylinder B.

g are the two anges of cylinder B.

C are the valves which havev an elliptical form. They are so constructed as to work exactly between the flanges g, also within the view of the cylinder A and in the grooves which are cut in the cylinder B. Every valvehas two ournals a which passes freely through the Iflanges g. On the outer side of the flanges g the toothed wheels E are represented and secured on the journals a.

W is a part of a ring and is fastened within the periphery of the cylinder A. G is a pivot which is also fastened within the cylinder A.

F represents a pinion on which a lever is attached which serve to open the valves C when it comes in contact with the ring WV and to shut them again when they come in contact with the pivot G.

The pipes X are secured to the cylinder A and are intended to draw the water out the well and force it, by means of the piston in Figs. 3, 4 and 5 described, through the discharge pipe Z2.

M is a pinion which is secured on the journal X.

The spurwheel N and the cranks O may be moved freely on the axis R by the levers G2 and the rods P. Those levers G2 will, when they are moved from the left to the right etc., participate a rotary motion to the spurwheel N and further to the machinery in the cylinder A. This rotary motion may also be obtained by eccentrics, etc.

S," is a frame which is attached on the levers G2 to work by.

T are the seats for the workmen.

The wheels I and the pinions d are fastened on the shaft U. Those pinions (l are driven by the spur-wheels N and will be used to drive the engine through the streets. These pinions d have to be shifted when the pump A is in operation.

That I claim as my invention is- The combination and arrangement of a force pump as herein described, for the purpose set forth.
